How it's used
This term carries a strong derogatory weight when used to mean bastard, as it implies a lack of clear lineage or legitimacy. While it can describe someone of mixed ancestry, the nuance is often offensive rather than neutral. It is best avoided in polite conversation unless you are specifically aiming to insult someone's background.
